Some people bring cake to dinner...he brought a fucking machine gun! - Ewan McGregor

About Me

I like discovering new things about myself and the world. I'm somewhat passionate about what I do and what I want in my life. I'm raised by popular culture, classic literature, 80s TV shows and Animation. I'm more educated than most, and less educated than some. Still trying to find my place in the world. I work in drama, so I don't really need to deal with drama on my off time. I just like things simple. Everything else is a work in progress...
